The 0 = 1 happens when the terms don’t exist. You’re creating a query for some set of terms. Before it can add the SQL to that main query, it first does a secondary query to get the term_id’s for the relevant terms. If none are found, then it returns 0 = 1 instead, to … Read more
WP_Query->is_main_query() method source (which function of same name calls) is very short and simple: function is_main_query() { global $wp_the_query; return $wp_the_query === $this; } The main query is the query that is stored in $wp_the_query global. But what is that global? When WP sets up main query it stores it in two places: $wp_the_query and … Read more
Searching inside a serialized array is difficult and inefficient– ie. slow. The following pure SQL will do it: SELECT * FROM `wp_postmeta` WHERE `meta_key` LIKE ‘daysonair’ AND `meta_value` LIKE ‘%thursday%’ LIMIT 0 , 100 Something like this should get WP_Query to do something similar: $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ … Read more
category__in will never work as you aren’t making use of the build in taxonomy category. You are actually making use of a custom taxonomy called tagbbt. Take a look at this post, I have explained what the differences are For custom taxonomies, you need to make use of a tax_query Here is an example $args … Read more
EDIT From your comments, I have reworked the entire solution. I’m keeping the original answer just for reference If I have 3 sticky posts, shouldn’t they be the first 3 posts on the first page, regardless of their post date? What’s happening is that only the sticky posts that happen to be in that first … Read more
Yes, totally possible. SCENARIO 1 If you need only one taxonomy, all you need to do is to get all the term ID’s of all terms assigned to the taxonomy and then pass that array of term ID’s to a tax_query (Requires PHP5.4+) $term_ids = get_terms( ‘TAXONOMY_NAME’, [ // Array of arguments, see get_terms() ‘fields’ … Read more
wp_reset_postdata() resets the value of the global $post variable to the post property of the main query, which will be whatever post the main query was last on. You would do this if you had used setup_postdata() or $query->the_post() on a custom query. Both of these replace the global $post variable so that functions like … Read more
As you already mentioned, to limit the number of posts retrieved by the query, you can use posts_per_page. This argument works both for get_posts and WP_Query(), for example: $args = array( ‘posts_per_page’ => 5, ); $posts_array = get_posts( $args ); And as stated in the link you provided, no_found_rows = true will end the query … Read more
I’d use the current_post property of the WP_Query class instance, which in your case is the $query. So here I check if $query->current_post is greater than or equals to 1: <div class=”carousel-item col-md-4 <?php echo $query->current_post >= 1 ? ” : ‘active’; ?>”> Resource: https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Properties
Somatic had the cleanest answer, but missed one thing. You should specify the numberposts to be -1 so that it counts them all. Like this: $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘artwork’, ‘post_status’ => ‘published’, ‘genre’ => ‘romantic’, ‘numberposts’ => -1 ); $num = count( get_posts( $args ) ); just replace genere with your taxonomy slug … Read more
